I now demand your explanation in public that why you have deleted the yesterday's posting of Eric . Though I don't agree with him in many respects on some political viewspoints, from the psychological view points, he just vent his anger!
NikeNewYork did agree with me that sometimes rules could be bent.
I am very sorry for my blunt wordings. |

What may be venting for one member, might be hurtful to other members or harmful for the forum. A language forum is usually not the best venue for political ventilation. :wink: |

Things can get out of hand, so there has to be some element of control. Anyway, it was relocated, not censored.  |

Hello Red5,
First of all, many thanks for your wonderful and very helpful forum.
It's really noble of you helping people learning your language in that way.
May I ask you why you are called "Red" ?  | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
